Biff Banter Panel One

Trying to do a short story starring Biff Banter and decided to post the first panel of page one (because that's all I gots). I've been looking at a few Basil Wolverton comics for inspiration and I have to say the man is a genius. I'm trying to capture the feeling he often created in his Powerhouse Pepper comics and even fashioned a font after his handwriting.

A Pinch Of Basil

If find yourself in New York, through fault of residing here, visiting as an annoying tourist, or took a wrong turn in Connecticut somewhere, I highly recommend popping into Gladstone Gallery to view the Basil Wolverton exhibit currently on display. Within, the walls are filled with a plethora of Wolverton goodness, rather a quite extensive and impressive collection. Let's say it made me hungry to create. Inspired by the man's work, I present Chester Cheswad. Cheswad was a character I created one night at the ripe age of 16 or so. Unfortunately, the Ches-man met an unfortunate end when a cupcake, frosting side down and aided by gravity, plopped upon the colored pencil rendering during a fateful lunch in high school. I was fairly upset at his demise, so much so, that a post-mortem ode was even written by a friend to commemorate the brief existence of the goofy character. But now he's back in a failed crosshatching and stippling attempt in emulation of Wolverton. Might try a few more....
